Default pinkish drip

So i'm in the middle of pulling the front diff out for rebuild and noticed a pink-ish drip from the wires on the right front side of the block near the A/C condenser. I thought it was power steering fluid but the pump is on the other side, also it didn't really have a strong smell.

Anyone have any ideas what and why this is happening?

Most of the time the water pump is good. It's just the gasket that leaks. I just replaced mine and since the pump was perfect I just replaced the gaskets with some good Fel Pro gaskets. No drips now. It's an easy job.

That pink antifreeze is dexcool. I get it flushed out of every vehicle i own. It becomes very acidic if not changed regularily and will eat gaskets. Apparently the new stuff is better. If you flush it out. You have to getevery drop out.
